"This..." Chamberlain's face changed several times, but he still couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.It is still considered a country now, and has not been formally annexed by Hualan Kingdom.What's more, countries have already signed treaties and recognized their share of the navy, and now the Saar Empire suddenly repented, which is indeed very unreasonable.

"I also have some doubts. Your Excellency Chamberlain thinks that Hualan's navy should be appropriately reduced. Does it mean that our country's national strength is not enough to support the previous share, or that our country is not qualified to have too many warships?" Wu Chaoshu said: "The navy is It is well known that the most expensive branch of the military, if the quota must be allocated, it is better to measure it according to the gross national product, it seems that the quota of the Saar Empire should be less than that of the Hualan Kingdom."

Wu Chaoshu spoke bluntly, implying that the Saar Empire bullied others and wanted to suppress other countries with great oppression and rudeness, but he couldn't say anything.Chamberlain hesitated for a long time, but it was difficult to say any constructive opinions.

"It's not the first time we've cooperated. The navy's quota has long been determined. It should not have been redistributed. However, the current situation in the Eastern Continent has changed, which makes the treaty have a premise. Please ask Mr. Wu for this. Give it some weight." Frank, the Secretary of State of the White Eagle State, said that he supported the Hualan State on the surface, but in fact he was supporting the Saar Empire, hoping to weaken the Hualan State's naval strength and weaken the opponent's threat in the Eastern Ocean.

"So, the purpose of this meeting is to weaken the naval power of the countries in the Eastern Continent?" Wu Chaoshu said quite bluntly.

Frank and Chamberlain looked at each other, and they naturally understood that the purpose of this meeting was to restrict the countries of the Eastern Continent, but these words could not be said, otherwise the international reputation of the two countries could be used as a rag.

"I can't say that, we just think that the Eastern Continent is very peaceful now, so it's better to reduce military spending, especially the size of the navy, so that more money can be invested in people's livelihood." For the sake of the people of Hualan Kingdom, it is normal.

"In 1840, the Eastern Continent was also dominated by the Hualan Kingdom, and the regional situation was very peaceful. It seems that the Saar Empire sent a fleet to invade us, which made the Eastern Continent independent for so many years. Therefore, to say that the Eastern Continent is peaceful does not mean that The whole world is peaceful, we must always be on guard against some countries with ulterior motives, attack us." Wu Chaoshu said mercilessly, and the other party has already made it clear that they will deal with Hualan, so he has no scruples.

"Mr. Wu, what do you mean by this? It wasn't our Saar Empire that planned to send troops back then, but your country harmed the interests of our merchants, so we were forced to send troops." Chamberlain also stood up, and Hua Languo asked such a question, it was almost It is a contempt for the Thrall Empire.

"Mr. Chamberlain, why didn't he clarify who the merchants are? Don't you know that those merchants sold opium? As far as I know, your government banned the sale and smoking of opium in the country at that time, and our country has the same regulations. And your country Businessmen insist on smuggling opium into our country. Our government confiscates and destroys the goods in line with international practice, but your country uses this as an excuse to launch a war of aggression. It seems that your country is suspected of double standards. It prohibits opium in its own country, but supports trafficking to other countries. It does not match the status of your country." Wu Chaoshu said sonorously, but Chamberlain's face turned red and pale, and he really had nothing to refute.

Seeing that the conversation between the two became more and more rigid, Frank quickly smoothed things over and said: "Don't mention the past. At that time, the international order was chaotic and everyone was still trying to figure it out. Now that there is the League of Nations, everyone finally has an international order." , anything can be resolved through negotiation.”

Wu Chaoshu couldn't offend all countries. He just sneered at Frank and Si Ni's actions, but didn't reply.Looking at Wu Chaoshu and Chamberlain, Frank suggested: "I think Hualan's share should be kept as it is, but the declining Wa country and the Southern Cross Republic and Lanfang Republic, which have become de facto naval powers, joined the treaty. It’s also reasonable. As for how much the share should be, we still need to discuss it with all of us.”

"I have no objection to including all countries in the Eastern Continent into the naval system. After all, the maintenance of a huge fleet requires a huge amount of funds, which is a heavy burden for any country. However, our country's coastline is too long, and we need to defend against the Eastern Ocean. It is also necessary to defend the direction of the Zhaini Ocean and even the Persian Gulf. The area we need to defend is not much less than that of the Saar Empire, and a sufficient number of navies is very necessary. Everyone knows that cruisers are more important as coastlines everywhere It is responsible for the tasks of daily orientation, sea area patrol and anti-piracy, which is a very important security measure.”

"I also agree with this very much." Frank echoed. In fact, there are many cruisers in the White Eagle Kingdom.If it is restricted, many new warships that have just been built for a few years will face the fate of dismantling, which is a huge waste of national financial resources.

"Thank you, Mr. Frank, for your understanding. I think that cruisers, as light ships, don't contribute much to the main decisive battle, but play a greater role in maintaining peace in the ocean. There should be as many warships as possible without any restrictions." Wu Chaoshu smiled Said.

Chamberlain saw that Frank and Wu Chaoshu sang together, obviously opposing the cruiser standard and restriction plan proposed by the Saar Empire, and he knew he was in trouble.Originally, the Saar Empire wanted to impose some restrictions on the White Eagle Country while restricting the Hualan Country, but it seems to be very difficult now.

"If the Saar Empire agrees not to adjust the warship share of Japan after the Southern Cross Republic and the Lanfang Republic are brought into the system, will Mr. Wu agree to support the restriction of cruisers?" Chamberlain's words are obviously an exchange of interests, and his statement is obvious malicious.

The first thousand and 170 chapters and three awards ceremony

Since Frank, the Secretary of State of the White Eagle Country, is a good person on both sides, he will not be a bad person either.Anyway, the Wa Kingdom is located in the Eastern Ocean, and their navy has grown stronger. The White Eagle Kingdom has a headache, which has little to do with the Saar Empire.

The muscles on Frank's face, who had always been calm, twitched twice, obviously extremely angry.He and Chamberlain discussed the method of restriction in advance, but Wu Chaoshu and Okada Keisuke jointly made a mess at the meeting.Now the Saar Empire is actually targeting the White Eagle Country, obviously putting the game between countries on the table.

"Of course, our country is willing to accept such a clause." Wu Chaoshu's gentle mention was tantamount to moving the conflict from between Saar and Hualan to between Saar and White Eagle Kingdom.The meeting changed from a dispute between the two countries and a mediation by one country to a war between the three countries.

Wu Chaoshu bit his own bottom line, the Hualan country quota cannot be changed, the Wa country can be reduced to the same level as the Gaul country, and the Lanfang Republic and the Southern Cross Republic remain the same.The scale of such a fleet is really too large, the four countries together are almost equal to the sum of the fleets of Saar and White Eagle.If such a treaty is signed, Hualan will surely become the world's number one naval power, and there is no such thing.

How could the Saar Empire accept such conditions and give up their country's maritime hegemony.The London Naval Disarmament Treaty failed to be signed in the end, and the two parties broke up unhappy.Five days later, the Saar Empire and the White Eagle Nation successively announced that they would no longer recognize the validity of the Washington Naval Treaty, and the national naval strategy would make major adjustments.

The farce-like naval treaty ended in such a dramatic way, and the world once again entered the era of vying for the throne.However, among the protagonists this time, the Saar Empire will be the weaker side, while the rich and powerful White Eagle Kingdom and Hualan Kingdom will become the new protagonists.

After receiving the news, Zhao Shouhong just smiled, and then went to work on his work.After more than a month of calculations, all the merits of the military and arms in this unification battle have been calculated, and Zhao Shouhong will personally preside over the award ceremony.

Hualan Kingdom's military medal system was formulated in the Western Special Zone, and there has been no major war since it was formulated, so no one has ever won it.After this war, Zhao Shouhong naturally attached great importance to awarding honors in the whole army for the first time, so he and many generals and lieutenant generals of the whole army participated in this meeting.

The medals of the Hualan Kingdom are divided into three levels, the lowest being the Medal of Arms.These medals are marked with the arms of the recipients, which are divided into five levels. Usually, as long as you have served in the army for three years, you can get a lowest level five arms medal, and the award of first-level and second-level medals is generally To those who are valiantly wounded in battle.If you are injured more than three times, there is also a special bravery medal issued.As the bottom layer of the National Army Medal of Honor, these medals are all bronze castings. After later polishing and anti-rust treatment, they still look very delicate.

The second level of medals is called the Elite Medal, which is also divided into three levels, namely the Golden Dragon Medal, the Silver Tiger Medal and the Bronze Leopard Medal.Medals of this level are not only awarded to soldiers, they are usually awarded to people who have made great contributions to the country, or commanders who can turn the tide, or lonely heroes who stick to their positions, or engineers who have made great contributions to the country, For merchants or scientific researchers, the difficulty of obtaining it is already very high.

The highest-level medal is called the National Medal, and some people also call it the Stone Medal, because these medals are named after precious stones.For example, from low to high, they are the Sapphire Medal, the Topaz Medal, the Onyx Medal and the Blue Diamond Medal, and above these four levels, the topmost medal is called the Gem Star Pioneer Medal.

As the highest-level medal, the Gem Star Pioneer Medal is the existence that all soldiers and people from all walks of life in China yearn for, and it is also the most difficult to obtain.These medals are not just good-looking, all medals usually represent some kind of honor.Even if a person without a medal has a high rank, it is possible to salute first to those with a low rank.For example, the highest Gem Star Pioneer Medal, even if you have the rank of Marshal, you must first salute when you meet.Moreover, these medals have a limited subsidy every year. If the medals are awarded to martyrs, their families will continue to receive these subsidies for 50 years.

Those low-level medals are naturally awarded by the commander-level of the military region, and the second-level is awarded by Chief of Staff Jiang Fangzhen, Army Commander Wu Ziyu, Navy Commander Cai Tinggan, and Air Force Commander Li Ruyan.Only the first-level medals will be issued by Zhao Shouhong himself.

After the start of the honorary ceremony, Bai Chongxi, as the host, first suggested that the audience observe a 3-minute silence for the martyrs who died in the Battle of the Founding of the Nation.Then Bai Chongxi began to announce the list of people who received the medal. Those whose names were read walked up to the rostrum proudly to accept the awards from the generals. called.

When the medals were handed out, only the last few dozen boxes were left on the rostrum.Zhao Shouhong finally stood up: "I will distribute the next medals."

He walked to the front of the stage and said in a low voice: "During the naval battle in the Yizhou Strait, Lieutenant General Lin Jixun led the main force of the Sanya Squadron. Knowing that they were invincible, the whole army launched an assault. Not only did they hold back the enemy, but also let the navy The air force was able to arrive in time to wipe out the entire enemy army, and also sank the enemy flagship, causing confusion in the combined Japanese fleet. All the warships of the Sanya Squadron were sunk, and 810 officers and men under Lin Jixun died for the country, and only 21 survived."

Many honored officers and soldiers belonging to the Sanya Squadron had reddened eyes when they heard this, and several of the survivors even sobbed softly.Zhao Shouhong paused and continued: "According to the collective vote of the high-level military, all the victims of the Sanya Squadron will be awarded the Topaz Medal, and the survivors will be awarded the Sapphire Medal. Lieutenant General Lin Jixun will be awarded the Gem Star Pioneer Medal and will be promoted to Admiral."

When Zhao Shouhong said the final award, all the soldiers stood up and applauded uncontrollably.The applause did not subside until 10 minutes later, and they paid tribute to the martyrs of the Sanya Squadron in this form.The host Bai Chongxi said: "Please Lieutenant General Liu, the new commander of the Sanya Squadron, to receive the medal in place of Admiral Lin Jixun."

Professor Liu stepped onto the rostrum, and when he came to Zhao Shouhong's side, he solemnly saluted: "Reporting to the President, on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Sanya Squadron, I would like to express my opinion to you. Ready to be given our all by the motherland."

The first thousand and 170 chapters and four army adaptations

Zhao Shouhong nodded, handed the box containing the Gem Star Pioneer Medal to Professor Liu and said, "Here, I solemnly announce that the Sanya Squadron will be upgraded to the Second Fleet of the Eastern Continent, and will be stationed in Fukuoka, Japan. A defensive fleet in the northern seas."

Zhao Shouhong's statement is tantamount to raising the Sanya Squadron to a higher level, reaching a level comparable to that of the Grand Fleet, which is a huge improvement.And Lin Jixun and others were killed by the Japanese navy, so letting them be stationed in the territory of the Japanese country naturally has another meaning.Hearing this news, the officers and soldiers of the Sanya Squadron were all delighted, and Professor Liu was so happy that he saluted again.

The supreme commanders of all military regions and arms gathered in Beihua City, and naturally they did not come just for this conference.After awarding honors to the officers and soldiers, the commanders entered the staff headquarters building, preparing to hold the first important meeting after the establishment of Hualan Kingdom.

"Everyone has worked hard from afar. The reason for inviting you this time is that after the unification of Hualan Kingdom, our defense posture has changed a lot. Because the territory has expanded again, the previous army distribution plan is no longer enough to control the entire country, so I We plan to expand the army and adjust the structure of the army." Zhao Shouhong looked at the generals and said, "Such adjustments cannot be perfect, so I need to listen to everyone's opinions. The next announcement will be made by Lieutenant General Bai Chongxi, the deputy chief of staff. Regarding the new army building plan, if you have any questions, you can ask them in person, and we will make changes on the spot.”

Bai Chongxi nodded and walked to the front of the stage, saying: "Generals, now that Hualan Kingdom has finally completed the unification, our land defense line has been greatly shortened, which is beneficial to our defense, but with the expansion of the sea area, our defense posture It's even more severe. Next, I will announce the adjustments of the various military services one by one. If you have any questions, you can ask them at any time. The first thing I want to talk about is the Army."

When Bai Chongxi talked about the army, Wu Ziyu, Cai Songpo, and Pan Wenhua, the three army bosses beside him, became nervous. They pricked up their ears and listened, not daring to miss a single bit of information.

Bai Chongxi cleared his throat and said, "The Ministry of National Defense of Hualan has four departments of land, sea and air affairs. Among them, the Ministry of Army remains unchanged. General Wu Ziyu is still the minister, Cai Songpo and Pan Wenhua are the vice ministers, and Xu Xiaogang, Qi Xieyuan, Zhou Daogang, and Wu Yuzhang are the military counselors. , entered the Ministry of National Defense. The General Logistics Department is responsible for the logistics supply of the whole army. The head is Lin Shuang. The General Armament Department is established to be responsible for the research and development of the whole army's weapons and supplementary equipment. Wu Luzhen is the head. The West Special Army officially changed its name to the Hualan Defense Force , the troops are divided into three levels, of which the field army is divided into two levels, A and B. The A-level army has four divisions, the B-level army has three divisions, and the local garrison has two divisions for the C-level army. From now on, the A-level army will still For the establishment of the recruitment system, the second-level army will become a military service unit together with the garrison army. In the event of a large-scale war, the Ministry of National Defense has the right to temporarily organize large units of the group army for unified operations in certain aspects. Let me announce the various levels The specific organization of the troops."

Hearing that the army is divided into three levels, all the generals pricked up their ears, waiting to hear that their troops would be divided into that level.Bai Chongxi continued: "The Class A army consists of Liu Yuanxun, the commander of the First Tank Army, which consists of the First Tank Division, the Second Mechanized Infantry Division, the Third Tank Division, and the No. 60 Artillery Division. Liu Bozhao, the commander of the Second Mechanized Army , with the Fifth Mechanized Division and the Sixth Tank Division..."

In addition, the garrison troops in each province will be upgraded to form one or two C-level armies.All artillery divisions were assigned to the various Class A armies, and the third artillery division was renamed the Shore Artillery Garrison, which was also under the command of the Artillery Command.

The army's defense area was re-divided into seven major military regions, of which Song Zheyuan served as the commander of the northern military region.
